I loaded up about 200 rds and found out this weekend that my podwer mesure is a pice of crap and was off by 10 gr's. so now I have to pull all those rounds apart but I have two diefferent types of powder in them. does it matter if I mix both types of powder? the types are Reloader 22 and Hodgdon 4831.
 
Can't you tell both powders apart and dump them in different containers?

I would also venture to say that your loads being off by 10gr has more to do with your negligence than with the powder measure being a piece of crap.

What caliber..22-250?

Did you not check the loads on a scale, every 10 or 15 rounds?

Sorry to be harsh on a new member of the forum, but the second mistake was not confirming the powder charge. The first mistake was reloading without doing some reading and research (every loading manual ever made warns against mixing powders.)
